"This book is a journey of self-discovery for both reader and writer. Within the first few pages, the reader is encouraged to get a journal and participate in a co-active process of working through some of the most fundamental questions that we need to address as sentient beings. These are the observations of one man, with his perspectives on Life and how it has unfolded richly for him. As with many works of this nature, I was often struck by the thought: “That’s so obvious, but he puts is in such an original way.” Andrew asks some really profound, thought-provoking questions throughout the book that justify the requirement of a journal upfront. This is not a passive read. This is an exercise in self-discovery, .......! This is also a great tool for starting conversations and examining life-constructs. This book really forced me to think deeply about my frameworks, values and perspectives, and to examine their validity – which is a good thing to do every now and then!" Megan Hudson - COMENSA
